• 0:31
  insert theme song here this is the daily star cast i give you the news and maybe
• 0:35
  a laugh i'm lindsey vernick and today is let me check,
• 0:40
  august 31st 2026 holy shit is it seriously the last day of august well if you
• 0:46
  can't tell i am literally losing my mind,
• 0:50
  but i haven't lost it quite just enough yet where i was able to actually get some sleep last night.
• 0:55
  So I figured, let me check in
• 0:57
  with the Daily Starcasters because you guys need to know what's going on.
• 1:02
  But also, as my dad says, we don't need to know everything.
• 1:07
  Every day on this show is just a big freaking day. It's so long and so many things happen.
• 1:14
  I'm going to take you through just another day that was the craziest freaking
• 1:18
  day that happened on some day last week. I could not tell you the day of the week that it was.
• 1:25
  So I wake up at like 8 a.m.
• 1:28
  And also, mind you, I went to bed probably around like 1 or 2 because I wasn't
• 1:32
  sure if I was going to get on a flight that morning or in the afternoon because
• 1:35
  the flights kept getting switched around it was this whole thing but I chose
• 1:39
  to go to bed early and by early I mean like,
• 1:42
  at midnight instead so I wake up.
• 1:45
  I get in the uber with this guy that the other producer who I'm working with,
• 1:50
  and we go to the airport we don't have that much time,
• 1:53
  and it's just one of those things where it's just like everything that can go
• 1:56
  wrong does go wrong and we're driving and also mind you the night before We
• 2:01
  were walking around and just like in the middle of Chicago, couldn't find food
• 2:04
  anywhere, end up eating Shake Shack,
• 2:07
  because obviously when you're in Chicago for one night, you have to get Shake
• 2:11
  Shack at midnight in your hotel room.
• 2:13
  Anyways, so we're in the car, we're going to the airport and we're like,
• 2:17
  thank God, like let's get the F out of Chicago. We're literally there for a
• 2:21
  night. Like we're at Wrigley Field the day before doing this crazy competition.
• 2:25
  And by the way, I'm having the girls come on the show for like a tell all when
• 2:30
  it comes out next summer. These girls are the cutest. I'm obsessed with them.
• 2:34
  Anyway, I also call them like my kids, even though they're like,
• 2:38
  actually one of the girls is my age, but they kind of feel like my kids,
• 2:41
  right? Like they're, I'm literally like their counselor.
• 2:44
  I'm their babysitter, like whatever you want to call it.
• 2:47
  Oh my God. Anyway, it's just so crazy. Sorry. I keep getting so sidetracked.
• 2:52
  So we get in the car and we're going to the airport back to that story.
• 2:56
  And the Uber driver just goes every wrong way, like doesn't go on the highway,
• 3:00
  even though there's like, there's one big highway in Chicago that you can get on.
• 3:04
  And he, I think it's like a Lake shore drive or something just doesn't take it.
• 3:07
  Just weaves in and out of like all these intersections.
• 3:11
  And we're like, whatever we get to the airport and then my friend like the producer
• 3:16
  I'm working with this guy was like we just passed arrivals or he's going to
• 3:21
  arrivals not departures and I was like you're kidding he's like no I'm serious,
• 3:25
  so I pull into arrivals the guy like doesn't understand all these cars are beeping at him,
• 3:30
  also I forgot to mention that he when he picked us up he went the opposite way
• 3:35
  down a run down the one way to pick us up anyway so we get in off of arrivals,
• 3:41
  and of course my suitcase is too heavy so I have to like take stuff out of that
• 3:45
  in front of this guy so embarrassing but like at this point this guy is used
• 3:49
  to it because I do this every fucking flight which is every three or four days
• 3:53
  at this point so he's used to me doing this so.
• 3:56
  We go to the airport I think everything was fine and oh okay then we get on
• 4:03
  the flight and I was like you know it's 10 a.m we've already had a morning and
• 4:06
  I'm just like I'm just gonna fucking like zone out and just chill,
• 4:10
  So I sit down in my seat and i'm so pissed i'm in a middle seat on a southwest
• 4:15
  flight who no one No one should ever be in that position in their lives.
• 4:20
  So I sit down next to like this guy next to me and he's like,
• 4:25
  whatever, we like look at each other. I've never seen this guy before in my life.
• 4:29
  And he's like talking to, and one of the lighting guys is like behind me putting
• 4:33
  his stuff up in the rafters or whatever you want to call it, up in the bin.
• 4:37
  And the guy next to me is talking to him. I'm like, why is he talking?
• 4:41
  Like, why is he talking to one of our lighting guys?
• 4:43
  And then it dawns on me and I turn to him and I say, are you one of us?
• 4:47
  And he was like, yes. Hi, Lindsay.
• 4:50
  How embarrassed i hate when people say hi lindsey and i don't know who they
• 4:54
  are it freaks me out i need to have a better memory.
• 4:58
  So obviously i'm so mortified because he was like yeah like we've met like i've
• 5:02
  seen you like i see you hustling around like you're such a hard worker
• 5:07
  and i was like oh my god like thank you so much i'm so freaking sorry that that
• 5:12
  happened so then the other lighting guy sits down next to me.
• 5:15
  And mind you, these are like two huge dudes.
• 5:18
  So I'm like squished in between them on this flight.
• 5:23
  And so the other, when the other lighting guy sits down, he's like,
• 5:25
  do you guys want a tequila shot? And at that point in my life, I'm like, hell yeah.
• 5:29
  Anyway, I had, I kid you not, the best fucking plane ride of my life.
• 5:34
  Like I told my mom that she's like, who says that they had the best plane ride?
• 5:40
  And I was like, I don't know, but like we just had the best time
• 5:43
  and like afterwards we like felt like we had to apologize to everyone around
• 5:48
  us who had to listen to these wild conversations that we're having i don't even
• 5:52
  remember really what we were talking about like it was just bullshit but it was just so much fun,
• 5:58
  anyway so we land and i feel like they had like dropped me back off with my
• 6:03
  dad and like these guys are like let's go party on bourbon street and i was
• 6:06
  like no guys like i actually have to go work now.
• 6:09
  So I have to meet up with the other producer guy. And we...
• 6:14
  Somebody actually called him my dad the other day on Bourbon Street when we
• 6:18
  were walking around. He was not happy about that, obviously.
• 6:22
  But he also... Never mind.
• 6:25
  Oh, and I forgot to mention, as I'm going to the airport, as I'm going through
• 6:28
  security screening, obviously I got chosen for the random security check.
• 6:34
  Because why wouldn't I be? So then we get to the New Orleans airport, to the hotel here.
• 6:41
  And as I'm checking in I get the notification that Dolly Parton died and I say
• 6:47
  that to the woman checking me in and I'm in New Orleans mind you and the woman
• 6:52
  says to me I don't know who that is,
• 6:55
  what you don't know you don't know who Dolly Parton is so I said to her how
• 7:00
  do you not know and she was like,
• 7:02
  I don't know I'm not from this country like but.
• 7:06
  Like some things that happen, you just, you can't make up.
• 7:10
  So after that, I go out with the other producer to go scouting.
• 7:15
  And that's when he gets called my dad again, but not again, but that was the
• 7:18
  first time he got called my dad.
• 7:20
  And the production manager, she's been in this business out for like 20 years
• 7:24
  and she's just absolutely had it on the show. A lot of people have lost it on
• 7:28
  the show. Just, you know, hit the wall on it.
• 7:31
  And she was like, you're going to lose that light in your eye Lindsay and I
• 7:34
  was like no I'm not so yesterday the other producer and I we finished our scout
• 7:39
  and we head over to like this 50s diner that had like their own like soft serve machine,
• 7:46
  and I'm sitting there with him we're like finishing our lunch,
• 7:50
  and we ordered I don't even know we ordered we ordered like deviled eggs and
• 7:53
  milkshakes well no he ordered a milkshake and like a sandwich and I like made
• 7:58
  him get his sandwich toasted and I think he was mad at me but I'm like,
• 8:02
  you can't just like have an untoasted tuna melt that's disgusting it's just a tuna sandwich,
• 8:08
  whatever besides the point,
• 8:10
  the waitress and I'm and I feel myself like going like I'm crashing out and
• 8:14
  the waitress comes over she's like is everything okay and I was like,
• 8:17
  you see the light in my eyes right and she was like yeah there she's like actually
• 8:21
  looking into my eyes she's like yeah I think I see some light in there I'm just
• 8:26
  like okay thank you there's light there has to be light.
• 8:31
  Yeah. Anyway. And then the fricking, uh, waiter, I go up to get an ice cream
• 8:37
  cone from him because I'm like, you know, maybe that'll make me feel better.
• 8:41
  Like how can ice cream not make me feel better? And he's Jewish.
• 8:45
  Then he writes his name and number down on the back of a receipt.
• 8:48
  And I'm like, Oh my God, can everyone leave me alone for like five minutes?
• 8:53
  Like, yes, it's very flattering, but like, that's when I started to really crash
• 8:57
  out because I'm just like, I just want to have five minutes where people leave
• 9:00
  me alone. I can just have a normal conversation.
• 9:03
  But all is good. I got nine hours of sleep last night, so I feel better.
• 9:08
  And I'm not going to drink any more espresso for a little bit because I don't think my body needs it.
